It
is undeniable that women are the chief architect
of human civilization. As a mother, sister and
wife, a woman has to play a significant role
throughout her life. Despite their dedication
and determination for the family and society
they have to face the backlash from their male
counterparts.
Millions of women on this planet have to face
all kinds of atrocities, they have to live in
conditions of abject deprivation of and attacks
against their fundamental human rights for no
other reason than that they are women.
The condition of women has been deteriorating in
every part of the world rapidly. Now women are
treated only as a thing of commodity to enjoy.
That is why in recent times rape and other kinds
of violence against women have gone up.
We talk about education and modern society. We
have made leaps and bounds progress in all the
sectors. It is really regrettable that the
condition of women has worsened further. Who is
responsible for this? Women are being forced to
wear scanty dresses in many places. In clubs,
discos, parties and big business deals the
involvement of women is absolutely necessary.
Is it the sign of modernism or equality between
two genders? It is neither modernism nor
equality, modernism never allows men to use
women and take undue advantages from them, and
as far as equality is concerned, men never want
to see the women on the same platform.
We live in a world in which women are not free.
Millions of women and girls are forced to marry
and have sex with men whom they do not want.
Women cannot depend solely on the government to
guard them from physical violence. Women are not
safe anywhere, in policy custody and state
custody they face sexual assaults by the
policemen and jailors.
In spite of rapid spread of education, the case
of dowry death is increasing day by day. Women’s
modesty could be outraged anywhere. They are not
safe even at their home. The question arises
where will they go and live.
In leading newspapers almost everyday
advertisements are given of 7 star and 5 star
massage parlour. Girls from India and abroad
will serve the customers. Massage parlours are
nothing more than prostitution houses. In the
name of massage parlours, flesh trade is in full
swing.
The sex ratio is dipping in India.
Notwithstanding the pre-natal test is prohibited
by the government, illegal pre-natal tests have
not stopped. Many clinics and doctors are
involved in the racket with the help of corrupt
policemen. Girls are being killed before coming
in this world. The cases of feticides have not
stopped rather it is getting momentum despite
the government ban.
You can’t blame only parents for killing girls
before their birth. The society is equally
responsible for this crime. Poor parents always
think how they can manage the long list of
demand of dowry during the time of their
daughters’ marriage.
In states like Haryana and Punjab, boys are
purchasing girls from other states for marriages
and three or four brothers live with one girl.
The story of Mahabharata is being once again
repeated, where five Pandava brothers had a
common wife Draupadi.
We have entered in the 21st century; despite
this, women have to suffer in the every walk of
life. We need to take a concrete step to stop
violence against women with immediate effect
otherwise the situation would further
deteriorate.
